The Invisible Mouth: The Problem with GDP Predictions

But keep in mind that two things are mesmerizing the commentariat at the moment. One is Wall Street layoffs. The other is the manufacturing sector. Yet our economy employs over 126 million people and, much New York-based press to the contrary notwithstanding, its fate does not hinge on the dismissal of a few fixed-income types or the disappearance of an emerging-markets desk here and there. Meanwhile, the manufacturing sector accounts for only 19% of total output -- and only 15% of total employment -- in this country.

So when will this concept sink into the general opinion? <g>

Thanks,

Lee
